I would highly recommend anything by Dr.Dog. This album is one of the little bit more raw sounding ones. Dr. Dog is so enjoyable to me because they have a kind of older blues and sometimes almost be bop sound, but many of the lyrics and other instrumental sounds are unique and modern. This band has both the best of the old and the new.

I have found a new favorite band. I started with their album "Be the Void" and I was hooked. I recently ordered their entire back catalog and am continually amazed by how fun this band's music is. Highly recommended!

I picked this up after reading some critical acclaim, never mind some of the reviews here. After several spins, I just don't hear what the big deal is. Maybe that IS the big deal...that this band plays serviceable, happy "indie" sounding music. These guys definitely have a few Beach Boys LPs (from the 70s...the good stuff) in their collections. They remind me of Brendan Benson, and that can't be bad.

If you know me, you've seen my shirt. You've heard me drop the name in conversation. Dr. Dog. If you consider yourself a music lover, hail from the Philadelphia area, and have not heard Dr. Dog--wait: those three do not mix. The ragtag Philly-based band of harmonizing and alliterated minstrels has been pumping out material since before the turn of the millennium but has only recently gained acclaim for its new release, We All Belong. All aboard. Taxi, Tables, Thanks, Text, and Trouble (yes, all their names begin with T's) waste no time delivering the goods on We All Belong. The opening track, "Old News," while only running one minute and fifty-one seconds, establishes the sonic atmosphere of the oncoming thirty-five minutes: Beach Boys harmonies meet Beatles song structures and recording techniques and begin to brawl. Next is "My Old Ways," which thanks to MTV2's Subterranean has scored the band a hit music video. An infectious piano hook sends the track into an epic intro, followed by a poppy verse and an escalating chorus. Studio static instantly bleeds into the first bass-driven verse of "Keep A Friend." Bassist Tables, who shares vocal duties equally with guitarist Taxi, exercises his pipes thoroughly in the track. "The Girl" gradually churns a drumroll-and-count-off combo into the thunder of the verse's guitar rhythm--run any track from Rubber Soul through a two-dollar transistor and you'll get the point. Taking a break from all the fuzz, the crisp, clean guitar rhythms, punchy bassline, smooth background vocals, and wrenching solo of "Alaska" embody Dr. Dog's originality and diversity. Grab a drink, sit down, and close your eyes to enjoy "Weekend" to the fullest: when you hear it, you'll understand. On to the flipside. Subtlety is abandoned in the transition from the chill mood set by "Weekend" to the wall of sound that is "Ain't It Strange." The solid bass, heavy dub-like reverb, sudden time-signature changes, and vocal-tradeoff breakdown of this track alone make We All Belong a surround-sound system's dream. Anyone who caught the band on Late Night With Conan O'Brien this March was rewarded with hearing the pulsing intro and two-guitar solo of "Worst Trip" and with seeing how much Conan towered over Tables. Beginning with a simple piano progression and vocal, "The Way the Lazy Do" concludes with an abundance of speedy drum flourishes and words that rhyme with "time." My favorite track of the album, which, along with "Ain't It Strange", was recycled and remastered from the Takers and Leavers EP, is definitely "Die Die Die." The track is certainly not as aggressive as its title implies, but rather quite a sorrowful tune: guy's lover dies, he smokes and drinks himself into oblivion, builds a life-sized model of heaven, and, somehow, dies too--all this in Tables' coarse vocals over a bass-drum-and-clap rhythm and a harrowing but hopeful organ progression. Finally, the album concludes with the title track, which escapes its "Love is All You Need" lyrics by way of a small string interlude and a heavy reliance on a horn section. Again, this band is one-of-a-kind. Having seen the quintet perform live twice, I can no doubt say that Dr. Dog's live show is every bit as loud, wild, and jubilatory as any one of its recordings. Keep your eyes peeled for the "My Old Ways" on your television set or computer screen. You may even be fortunate enough to catch the band live at the end of May at the Jam on the River: if not, tune into the David Letterman Show on May 23 to catch a live performance once-removed. And, please, if you like what you hear, do some backtracking and pick up copies of Dr. Dog's earlier releases Easy Beat, Takers and Leavers, and Toothbrush. Don't forget to watch for tour dates either, because what better place than Philly is there for Dr. Dog to drop by?

Let me state upfront that I am a late-comer to this party. I was not familiar with Dr. Dog until I heard their music recently on WOXY (BAM! The Future of Rock and Roll!), the internet-only starion but the best source for indie-music in the country, bar none. I immediately decided to check out their most recent album.

"We All Belong", released in early 2007 (11 tracks, 39 min.), starts off with a short introductory track "Short News" that is just exuberant, and sets the stage for the rest of the album. "My Old Ways" continues the musical style of piano-fronted, horns-augmented, almost bar-style, music and it works just great. Other highlights of the album for me include "The Girl", a heavier-sounding track with crashing guitars, the gentle "Ain't It Strange", and of course the album closer, the almost epic 6+ min. title track, wich sums up the album perfectly. What a delight this album is, from start to finish, there really are no weak tracks on here.

Dr. Dog will release their new album "Fate" later this month, and from the couple of tracks I've heard so far on WOXY, I can't wait to check that out. I haven't seen these guys in concert yet, but surely hope to get a chance to do so when they tour behind the new album. Meanwhile, "We All Belong" is highly recommended.
